THE STEAMBOAT TROUBLE,
Close of the Testimony In the Lady OF
the Lake Inyestigatton,

Close of the Testimony in the Lady OF
the Lake investigation.
On the 18th of last month the Lady of the
Lake and the Excelsior got about an even
start from their respective wharves aud
entered on their trip to Norfolk. When in
the vicinity of the Halfway tree, which
is about four miles from Washington, the
Lake, which up to this time had kept little
behind the Excelsior, let herself out, so to
speak, and spurted ahead OF her rival. Capt.
Davis is the commander of the Excelsior,
and is man with two as SOUND eyes as one
would wish to see, and he became alarmed
because he said the Lake came within four
feet OF his steamer and thereby was likely to
cause collision. Capt. Barker, of the
Lake, on the other hand, Is a man with bril-.
liant blue eyes, and is said by old river men
to be able at dead o. night to see a snag
long distance of, and he swears that he
was fully thirty feet away from the En-
celsior when he passed her. At any rate,
Capt. Davis PREFER, charges against Capt
Barker, and Gen. Dumont, inspector of
steamboats,, ordered an investigation. In
ssPectors saville and Valentine have been
taking testimony for the past three days,
and closed their labors yesterday The cap.
tains OF the two ferry boats, Washington
and Alexandria, who were on the river
when the Lake passed the Excelsior, and
many passengers who were on their way to
Norfolk gave evidence which proved very
conflicting. Some swore that the Lake was
100 feet from the other boat, while others,
with equally as good eyesight, were conf
twenty feet away. The report will be sub
mitted to Gen. Dumont in few days, but
1t Is believed that he will not give his de-
olson for week vet.

Acting Secretary Thompson said yester-
day afternoon that Senator Fairs offer to
sell the government 500, 900 registered Al
per cent. was not considered because OF lis
vagueDess. The bonds were offered at the
price paid by the government to-dsy." II
30 happened that bonds were purchased at
different prices and that there was no reg
ular fixed price. The acting secretary said
that In consequence he did not feel justified
In fixing price ut which the bonds should
be purchased. II he had done so he would
naturally have chosen the lowest rate paid,
and Mr.. Fair might then have asserted his
right under the circumstances to the highest
rate. The case Of Mr. Haguer, whose offer
was accepted last week, was entirely dif
ferent. He offered bis bonds at the lowest
price at which bonds were accepted on the
day on which the proposal was made.
